Some suffering in life is guaranteed. It cannot be avoided, and it does in fact provide the opportunity to build fortitude, equinimity, will and character.
Recognizing that doesn't make you some kind of bigot, it makes you a grownup.
It really depends on the name. An obscure protocol name isn't that valuable.
I don't think the domain name for an open protocol is worth that much.
Is html.com worth 5 mil? I'd guess not.
In any case, HTML is way more well known and used as a protocol.
The whole point of an open protocol is that it's difficult to monetize because that requires locking it down and milking it.
I have a half baked idea in my head, but I think there's something to it.
Writing code and working as a programmer for almost 20 years, has rewired my brain.
I have certain habits of mind that can irritate and annoy my wife.
I can't help but point out logical inconsistencies if I find them in something I see or hear.
I tend to consider multiple possible scenarios and outcomes, or all the different iterations of something.
I can get bogged down in the details of a story.
I like puns and wordgames and seeing words used in novel ways.
These are all traits that programming selects for, and strengthens.
I guess everyone's brain gets rewired by what they do. It's just kinda strange to realize the extent of it sometimes when I reflect on my behavior.
I've never had this specific use-case. The closest thing I can think of is to turn off sync for that folder. Then you can delete files locally without having them deleted server-side ("in the cloud" ugh).
But this is per folder, so the whole folder then no longer syncs until you turn it back on. And if you turn it back on, I don't know what's considered the source of truth, but logically I think it should be the Nextcloud server, so your local folder should then be repopulated with files you deleted locally.
Not sure if that's OK for you, but it's the best I can think of.
I'm mainly interested in Bitcoin and believe it's the most important project in the space, but I'm not a maxi of the type that says everything else is a scam. Even with the PoS coins I'm keeping an open mind. Lots of experimentation going on.
You're welcome 😁
BTW you can paste either a tweet or a profile link.
I've closed my account and now use Nitter when I want to read a tweet or a thread.
There are multiple instances.
For example:
It's a sucky and laborious user experience, but that's kinda the point.
Nice story thanks. It was probably better that you didn't know, I'm guessing it made the interaction more genuine.
"Be your own boss" on the billboards here. But only for the women. #slay #girlboss
Chefs are so last century. The future is now old man. We have food influencers. Get with the times.
I had to go to Düsseldorf today.
Some really nice Art Deco (I think) buildings here.
I love architectural styles from the turn of the previous century (e.g. also Art Nouveau).
A while back I read an interview with the mathematician Conway where he said something that I regularly think of.
To be a great mathematician, you have to be comfortable with something not being finished, not knowing when it'll be finished or whether it'll ever be finished (by you). You might work on a proof for years, not knowing whether you'll actually solve it.
Whenever I have anxiety around some unfinished project at work, I think of this quote. I'm not a mathematician, but we can all learn to accept ambiguity and incompleteness.
I'm fact, the mathematician Gödel, showed that every conceivable mathematical framework is incomplete, because it contains unprovable statements.
Thanks, yeah I know they're AI generated, but there's still someone writing the prompts and maybe doing touch-up right?
I figured one would still credit that person.
Hi Will, my wife would like to use one of these images in a newsletter. Did you create them yourself? Can you tell me who should be credited?
Thanks!
